Part 2



A Playing the Part

Actor Stephen Harris’ autobiography includes incredible descriptions of the Jamaica of his childhood, as well as a humorous view of his role as the baby in a family of eight. Readers will enjoy the details of his once-in-a-lifetime experiences on the stage of some of New York City’s most famous theatres and his thoughts on being a star in Hollywood today.

B Yesterday’s Painters, Today’s Inspiration

This book offers a look at the history of painting through the eyes of a modern painter. Though the subject is fascinating, the writing is aimed mainly at artists and experts in the field. The information is beautifully presented with high-quality images, and would make a wonderful gift for a painter or art student.

C Thirty Days

This first-hand account of a zoology student’s month-long experience helping to protect Africa’s endangered big cats is both informative and heart-warming. 21-year-old Lilly Mason teaches us about these creatures’ importance to the planet’s eco-system. Then she provides an in-depth introduction to three of her favourite four-footed friends: Victor, Sandy, and Queen B.

D Free Throw

You don’t have to like basketball to enjoy Nicholas Stenson’s latest novel. What it’s really about is the game of life. The main character is Stella, a sweet and funny 15-year-old who is always doing the wrong thing, both on and off the basketball court. This fun-filled novel is well-written, with believable characters and brilliant dialogue.

E Centre Avenue Mysteries: The Red Hat

The third book in the series will not disappoint fans of Joanna Smith’s teenage crime-solving team. The mystery of the red hat is by far the most unusual case in the series so far, and the fast pace of the writing is sure to hold your attention. The ending will probably surprise even the most experienced crime-story readers.

F City Stories

The authors of this powerful collection are all secondary-school students who live in our city! The book was their idea, and their English teacher helped to edit the stories. The city centre serves as the background for all the stories, and each one deals with a timeless theme, such as love and loss, in a truly unique way.

G Life through Letters

Historian Paul Maxwell has collected and edited nineteenth-century letters written by people from our area which describe their daily joys and hardships. This collection will give you a clear picture of what life was like for people living, loving and working in our town and the surrounding villages in the 1800s.

H Creative Minds: Lisa Tuttle

The latest in the Creative Minds series focuses on the woman who shocked the world with her small but powerful collection of paintings called “Angry Faces”. Art historian Ivan Moore presents the story of the artist’s life, along with a recent interview with Tuttle herself, and with statements about her work by art critics and professors, as well as other contemporary artists.

This month, our staff recommends….

Part 3



Discover the City of Light

The City of Light has something for everyone. In a sense, there's more than one Paris: there is the Paris for art-lovers, the Paris for food-lovers, the Paris for fashion-lovers, and so on. Travel with Star Tours and experience the best of everything the city has to offer in terms of museums, restaurants, shops and landmarks.

Though you will be travelling with one of our own experienced travel teams, we also collaborate with several Paris-based guides who are fluent in both English and French and who each specialises in a certain aspect of French culture, such as art, architecture or literature. These experts will offer talks at our hotel for those who are interested the evening before we visit certain sites. We also organise two special evenings out on the town for the whole group during our stay in Paris, but, on the other three nights, you are free to choose how to spend your evenings. We can recommend restaurants, plays or musical performances you might enjoy.

The hotel we will be staying in, the clean and comfortable Clair de Lune, is a beautiful example of Art Nouveau architecture from the late 1800s. It is located in the historic St Germain des Prés neighbourhood, close to two metro stations and a number of lovely bistros and boutiques.

The price includes airfare to and from Paris, 5 nights and daily breakfast at the Clair de Lune Hotel, a metro pass and tickets to the 4 museums that we will be visiting as a group.

Day 1: Flight from London to Paris in the afternoon; check in at the Clair de Lune, evening free to explore the neighbourhood

Day 2: Boat ride along the Seine, Notre Dame Cathedral and Pompidou Centre (contemporary art), classical music concert in the evening

Day 3: Luxembourg Gardens, Montmartre district (including the Sacré-Cœur Basilica [the highest point in the city] and Montmartre Cemetery, where many famous artists are buried), Champs-Élysées (for shopping and people-watching), evening talk 7:00pm: The Louvre Museum

Day 4: Louvre Museum, Jardin des Tuileries (Paris’s most formal garden), Place des Vosges and Victor Hugo House/Museum (Hugo was one of France’s most important writers), evening talk 7:30pm: The Eiffel Tower

Day 5: Eiffel Tower, Musée d’Orsay (nineteenth-century French art and culture), afternoon free, evening talk 7:00pm: The 14 bridges of the River Seine, dinner and cultural event as a group (more information on this later)

Day 6: Rue des Rosiers (“The Street of Rose Bushes”), Pont Neuf Bridge (the oldest bridge in Paris) and surrounding areas, picnic lunch at Place Dauphine (weather permitting), late-afternoon flight back to London

Read the text and questions below.

Questions 21-25

For each question, choose A, B, C or D.

21 The writer’s main purpose here is to describe…

A a typical day of his life.

B his relationship with his family and friends.

C his thoughts on cooking.

D his favourite types of recipes.

22 What does Thomas say about himself?

B He likes working outside.

C As a child, he didn’t like cooking.

D He really enjoys making easy meals.

Thomas Olson, Head Chef at the Red Door Restaurant

I never thought that I’d be able to make a career out of my favourite hobby. Cooking has been an important part of my life since I was a boy, but I never imagined that one day I’d be writing cookery books and working as head chef at the trendiest restaurant in town! I always thought I’d end up working for my parents, actually. That wouldn’t have been a bad thing, of course – they own an organic farm, you see, and I really enjoy working outdoors. But the best thing about being part of a farming family is that I get lots of tasty fresh organic ingredients for my dishes!

I cook at the restaurant and at home – my wife hates cooking, you see, but she does do all the washing up! And I must say, I use lots of pots and pans when I cook. Also, I’m not a big fan of quick simple meals, which drives my poor children crazy, especially when they’re really hungry!

One of my dreams is to travel round the world collecting traditional recipes wherever I go. I worry that a lot of these recipes will eventually be forgotten. Lots of people have little time to cook these days, but I think everyone should learn to make at least a few special dishes. When a friend or a family member cooks for you, it’s a gift, in my opinion. You know that person has spent hours shopping and preparing a delicious meal for you, and I think it shows they really care.

Part 4



23 What do we learn about Thomas’ children?

A They don’t usually like his cooking.

B They often cook for him.

C They usually wash the pots and pans he uses.

D They get annoyed when they have to wait a long time to eat.

24 What does Thomas say about traditional recipes?

A He thinks that most of them have been forgotten.

B He would like to find and save lots of them.

C He has a large collection of them.

D He thinks only a few of them are special.

25 What might Thomas say about his work?

A Cooking a good meal takes time and effort.

B I probably would’ve been happier working as a farmer.

C Perhaps I should spend less time on the meals I prepare.

D I’m so lucky that I get to travel for my job.
